Microsoft Vista (Longhorn)
Some people would say that I am an early adopter of new technology, I personally would say that that is an understatement :)
With the first official beta of the next version of Microsoft Windows, Vista/Longhorn I just had to install and test it with our software. The installation was very smooth and simple. I didn't even had to burn the DVD from the image but rather install it directly from a local hard drive. I did a dual-boot option to keep my old XP installation untouched.
The first thing I did after installing some drivers was to test Marratech (of course!!!). Unfortunately I wasn't very successful as the Java virtual machine didn't want to install. There wasn't any local virtual machine installed with Vista.
I also tried running an old installation (installed under XP) but the Java virtual machine crashed as soon as it needed to do network interaction. This was even before any Marratech native code was loaded.
I just guess we have to wait while before we can run Marratech under Vista.
Have fun!

If you want to do some UI design with Microsoft WinFX (Related to Windows Vista), we have a free beta XAML designer for WinFX that works on WinFX Beta RC1. Our next version will release sometime around PDC. Please give it a try. It works on XP. Information can be found on http://www.mobiform.com/Eng/aurora.html

Hi
I do not think it is really applicable for us as we do all our user interface in Java but thanks anyhow!
